Man sues Bayern Munich for €120,000 after English fan runs over him
Bayern Munich scored 3 goals when they kick Manchester United in a entertain final of a Champions League in Apr 2014.
Fritz Rettensteiner had a sheet for a match, though he never got to see a victory, the Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) reports.
Just after he had upheld by a turnstile during a Allianz Arena, a ticketless Manchester United fan crashed into him after jumping a barrier.
Rettensteiner fractured his kneecap and bend and mislaid a tooth in a fall. He had to be treated in hospital, and a injuries were so serious that a word representative still uses a hang to walk.
The radical fan was hold and his sum were taken, though it is doubtful that he will ever be hold accountable for his actions.
Instead, Rettensteiner is suing Bayern Munich for €120,000, claiming they unsuccessful to exercise a required reserve measures to forestall a collision from happening.
On Wednesday Rettensteiner’s counsel argued to a Munich justice that sheet checks before fans arrive during a turnstiles are normal during many German stadiums, while others have turnstiles so high that they are unfit to jump.
Both of these measures would have prevented a accident, a counsel argued.
But a football bar argued that dual million fans pass by their gates each year – and of them usually 4 or 5 burst a turnstiles.
Bayern’s lawyer, Gerhard Riedl, claimed that there had never been a identical occurrence during a Allianz Arena, arguing that a bar had no shortcoming for a accident.
“The Allianz Arena is one of a safest stadiums in a world,” he argued, according to Bild.
“There is no confidence risk, this was a unfortunate accident.”
Nonetheless, a bar certified that games opposite Manchester United are personal as “high risk” games in that additional sheet checks should be conducted. They could not endorse either such checks had been conducted on a day of a incident.
The presiding decider offering a concede of a remuneration of €10,000 – a sum deserted by both sides. The box will continue on Apr 5th.
